```xml
<lookup>
    <object>BINSIZE</object>
</lookup>
```

#### Parameters

| Name | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| object | Required | string | Use `BINSIZE` |

---

## Query and List Bin Sizes

#### `query`

> List the ID and description for each bin size:

```xml
<query>
    <object>BINSIZE</object>
    <select>
        <field>SIZEID</field>
        <field>SIZEDESC</field>
    </select>
</query>
```

#### Parameters

| Name | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| object | Required | string | Use `BINSIZE` |
| filter | Optional | object | Filter expression to limit the response to only objects that match the expression. Check the value of a single field using operators such as equalto/like, or multiple fields using and/or. Query fields on related objects using the dot operator (for example, `VENDOR.CREDITLIMIT` on APBILL). |
| select | Required | sequence | The names of the fields that you want included in the response, and an optional aggregate function such as `count` or `sum`. Returning all fields is not supported. |
| orderby | Optional | object | Provide an `order` element with a field name and choose an ascending or descending sort order, for example:  `<order>   <field>RECORDNO</field>    <descending/>  </order>` |
| options | Optional | object | Query options:  * Set the `caseinsensitive` element to `true` for a case-insensitive query  `<caseinsensitive>true</caseinsensitive>` * In a multi-entity company, set the `showprivate` element to `true` to query data in private entities:   `<showprivate>true</showprivate>` * Specify the `returnformat` for the response: `xml` (default), `json`, or `csv`  `<returnformat>json</returnformat>` |
| pagesize | Optional | integer | Maximum number of matching objects to return in the response, between `1` and `2000` items (Default: `100`) |
| offset | Optional | integer | Point at which to start indexing into records (Default: `0`) |
